The George Great Oxendon in Daventry

The best Moules a la Creme outside Brussels but for one thing, it was described as Moules Mariniere which it most definitely wasn,t. But the mussels were big, juicy, succulent in a cream sauce to die for. Pity the Chicken Kiev had no garlic butter AT ALL. And when I asked to talk to the chef to congratulate him on his mussels he never came - the difference between a family resturant and a commercial one. What a pity.

We have eaten at the George a couple of times previously and love it as a restaurant. However we got married here a month ago and could not recommend this place more! We hired The George out for a full day and had an intimate day with our family and close friends and then a big party at night for around 100 guests. The run up to the wedding was seamless and Lynsey was amazing at planning and making sure everything was covered and organised. On the day, all of the staff were really accommodating and helpful with the set up and also incredible and attentive all day and night. The whole day and night was seamless and the venue looked gorgeous. The garden here is amazing and was the perfect backdrop for our photos. The big bifold doors opened up all day making the space perfect for the whole event. The food was really lovely and all of our guests enjoyed it. The George were very accommodating and allowed us to have our family back at the venue in the morning for breakfast, which was as expected, delicious. The rooms are also lovely and big. Would recommend this place for a meal or a drink (Several of our guests have been back since for a meal and loved it!) but would also recommend for any event!

This place never fails to impress! The food is absolutely fantastic, the garden area is beautiful and the staff are helpful and friendly. Can’t recommend enough.

I really shouldn’t be telling the world how wonderful this place is….I want to keep it all to myself !! …….but that would be unkind to the owners who have made this venue so beautiful. We had our lunch in one of the most beautiful gardens you could ever wish for….flowers, trees, lawn, beautiful presented tables and chairs, quiet ambiance and quality service….heaven !! I gave it my highest rating…..five stars……and that’s a rarity for me. A ‘ good fault “ is that the excellent chef is too generous. But, all in all, such a quality establishment is seldom found in “ this day and age “. We hope and wish the proprietor and staff continuing success for the future. Thank you.

Decided to have lunch here midweek on a very hot day, arrived 12.30ish and it was busy. Decided to sit outside under the parasols which was lovely in the warm weather. Staff were attentive and there was a good choice on the menu. We chose the fish platter and chicken Kiev, both were very good and we enjoyed them. I ordered chips with my platter but really it was adequate without them. The one thing I will say about sitting outside is that the chairs are not the right height for that tables when eating food. We both found outselves bending at an odd angle which made it difficult to eat. So I would suggest outside for drinks and inside for eating. Overall a lovely meal.

Overnight accommodation is very limited if you wanted to visit the town of Market Harborough so we extended our search a little further afield to the village of Great Oxendon and found this little gem; The George which is about a 10 min drive away from MH. It's a pub with 4 rooms. We were given a lovely warm welcome when we arrived and we able to check in a bit earlier which is always very handy. We absolutely loved our room. It had been decorated beautifully and was light and bright with lots of space. Ensuite was also of a high standard. We had a few drinks in the bar which was lovely and cosy with an open fire and then booked in for dinner which was also very yummy. Breakfast in the morning was unreal. So much choice and the quality was exceptional. What really makes this place stand out, are the staff and their attention to detail. They really do want to make your stay very special so we are very grateful to each and every one of them for a really lovely time. If I was to mention anything slightly negative it would be that when you are in your room, you can hear noise from the bar/restaurant/kitchen but that's really the only thing to mention.

What a fantastic little pub.great atmosphere. Wonderful staff . Ollie our waiter was so lovely and polite x food amazing and very reasonable. Great find will definitely be back. Service was fantastic. Just lovely 😍 thank you

Excellent hospitality at the George on Sunday, made us feel very welcome and service was top quality! Drinks were served super quick and plates were cleared immediately after we had finished our meal, sometimes these simple things aren’t appreciated enough, thank you!! Our party all ordered different options and the whole party complimented how fresh and flavoursome the food was.

We had a lovely Valentines meal and quite honestly at £49.50 per head I was expecting on arrival a complimentary glass of Prosecco - come on The George it was VALENTINES DAY. That little extra thought goes a long way!

Three steaks very poor, hard and chewy…not cheap!!! Sauce watery and wouldn’t use it. No one came to ask how the meal was and had to ask for table water. Won’t be going back, such a shame as lovely ambience.

Having been several times to this Restaurant Sister Pub we were looking forward to trying this weeks Auberge menu. On paper the menu was appealing. In practice the fish cakes were bland, the Chocolate Brownie was unlike other Brownies we had tasted and this is not a positive remark. The Stroganoff seemed as if it came straight from a microwave pack. We left very disappointed and will in future use the Sister Pub where over several visits every course has been tasty and well presented.

Absolutely, absolutely beautiful . Thank you . We use this restaurant as our special place for special occasions .Everyone one needs a special place to go and to be sure i ts going to be wonderful . Sheila

We came as a small group to celebrate a birthday on a Saturday evening. The food and service were excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. We will definitely be coming again..

We were here for Sunday lunch, an anniversary actually. The staff are always great but today we felt the lunch could have been more interesting. There were no roasted root vegetables, there was no red cabbage, no Yorkshire pud with the pork, no butter on the veg and the potato mash could have been something more interesting as there were already roast potatoes. The pork was a little tough. The gravy was lovely as was the mash. The roast potatoes were fine and the mixed veg all nicely cooked. The rhubarb semifreddo needed more rhubarb and the lemon posset needed more lemon - the Viennese biscuit was delightful. We did end up feeling slightly disappointed. This is a very critical review and should perhaps therefore be scored a 3 but The George is wonderful and we felt this was an attempt to keep prices down - the three courses for £26.95 is very reasonable for a restaurant of this quality. But we would rather the Sunday lunch was more yummy and cost more.

Fabulous menu, reasonably priced . Food well cooked and tasty, with a good wine list to go with. Fish cookery was superb if you are a fish lover. Friendly staff. Definitely worth a repeat visit.

Superb birthday treat, I was treated to dinner here,what a delicious meal . Interesting varied menu with lots of choices every course was of a generous size something for everyone but go hungry!

We were cycling The Midshires Way and found our way to Great Oxenden via a precarious but pretty footpath (The Jurassic Way) with steps from the main track. Path NOT recommended if you have heavy cycles as there are two stiles en route. It ‘is’ a footpath, not a bridleway I suppose, so be warned. The George is a gastro-pub with a large car park and is finished beautifully inside. It also has a delightful patio area and gardens to enjoy in good weather. There isn’t a way around to the back so they kindly let us roll or bicycles through the dining area to the garden so we could keep a close eye on them. It’s a full service establishment so drinks are brought to you which was nice and the landlady/manager was friendly and welcoming. I chose the Friday fish and chips special which wasn’t one of the posher choices on the extensive menu, but it was delicious with freshly prepared mashed garden peas and a very nice tartare sauce. I chose the chunky chips which were tasty, cooked perfectly and very plentiful. It was good value at £16 We were treated to a thick slice of fantastic homemade bread which was delicious. My wife chose the sirloin steak, which, at £25, wasn’t cheap and unfortunately was very gristly. The flesh was very nice, but it was a struggle and not ideal. When we mentioned this however and showed the gristly, stringy remains the staff were disinterested and no offer was made to reduce the bill, which would definitely have been appropriate. We aren’t serial complainers but in the light of the lack of response regret not sending it back to the kitchen straight away. You live and learn. It’s a shame because this is a pleasant, sophisticated place with a warm welcome and at least initially, good service. If you are looking to dine in the area, In preference I would recommend a real treat, The Bull’s Head at Clipstone, which is considerably less expensive than The George. The Bull’s Head also differs in that it is a genuine country pub but with outstanding food and great service. We also tried The Stag at Maidwell, which was good and reasonably priced. They do close at 3pm on a Saturday though so be prepared to be cast out into the rain if you’re unlucky with the weather as we were ! 🤪

Sometimes on a Sunday only a roast lunch with all the trimmings hits the spot, then the George is the place to go for the right experience, wonderful food cooked to perfection with portions that satisfy the hungriest diner. The restaurant manager Rachel is very professional with her team who follow her lead to deliver great service to ensure all diners enjoy the experience of dining at the George.

Situated on the main Harborough to Northampton Road, there is plenty of on site parking. The decor is welcoming and there is a lovley garden for the Summer months with proper tables and chairs (not picnic benches). We visited on a Friday lunchtime when the special of the day was Fish and Chips, the full menu was also available at this time. Having seen a meal being served we felt we just had to go for the special which was £16.95 inlcuding a glass of wine. Portions were generous and we were not disappointed. Service was friendly. We will be returning to try some of the other items on the menu, worth a visit.

Have been here a few times now and it is my fave place to go. The service and surroundings are so nice and the food is delicious. I always recommend this place to friends and family. The Sunday lunch is gorgeous, a must. I wish they were open on Christmas day.

We have visited The George for Sunday lunch on a few occasions and the food has always been excellent. I therefore decided to stop overnight as a birthday treat with my partner, with a dinner in the evening. We had a lovely stay. Our room was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The bar and restaurant are equally well designed and have a relaxed atmosphere. Our dinner and breakfast the following day were delicious, and my food intolerances really well catered for. All the staff were friendly and professional. We wouldn’t hesitate to repeat our stay.

Absolutely superb food and service. Lovely location and very nice inside. Staff were friendly and service was good. The food was all really nice with a fantastic choice. Prices good for the quality too. Must try if you are in the area or live locally.

I booked a table for two for my wife’s birthday online having had a few recommendations from friends. As we had our toddler with us, I telephoned beforehand to ensure we could have a suitable table to avoid disturbing other diners. The staff were very thoughtful and reserved a table in the main restaurant and another in the bar area for whichever we felt best suited us when we arrived, which was very helpful. The food was good both in terms of quality and value (including my sons food). The service was attentive and welcoming. The variety on the drinks menu and wine list was also good. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and we will return for sure.

We came for Sunday lunch with friends. This is a modern, contemporary, light filled pub with plenty of friendly staff. The food choice was excellent - there were a couple of Sunday roasts but 4 or 5 other options and plenty of starter and dessert options. Food was delicious - especially enjoyed the pumpkin and chilli soup as a starter and the salmon was a very large piece of fish and excellently cooked. Great value for the quality of cooking

We love the George. The auberge supper menus are always delicious, beautifully presented plates, cleared prepared by professional chefs. We look forward to seeing what’s on each week’s menu and have been numerous times this summer. It’s even better when the weather is warm enough to sit in the garden dining area. Service is professional too and it’s a great value menu. What’s not to love.

Just had lunch with my sister. The food was amazing, possibly the best fish and chips I have ever had. The service was exceptional and staff friendly and efficient. I went there for dinner recently and wrote a review which was not a good one. A member of their staff contacted me and the issue was resolved amicably. Can’t recommend highly enough

We couldn't have had a better wedding party. Married in January with five guests then a party here in September with 45 guests. The George always does top quality food and they did that for a large party - choices of confit duck, beef medallions or sea bass for our mains and all expertly cooked with special additions like crispy crab ravioli with the sea bass. We were nervous about not having chicken on the menu but no complaints! We had two canapé tastings and they were even better on the day. The service was just great, professional and friendly and doing their absolute best to make it a great day for us - and they did. The DJ we hired did his best to subtly spoil it for us but he got people on the dance floor so no problem at all. I recommend to anyone hiring a DJ to pay half before then half afterwards so you have a little control on the day. The George is a beautiful venue, quite hard to describe but very modern inside with an open plan design with a couple of nooks and crannies and a lovely terrace with big glass doors next to the dining space. We highly recommend you hire The George for any celebration.

Went this evening with my sister. First course was lovely (parfait). I’d hardly finished it when the main course was served. I would have liked at least a few minutes. Main course was good. Ordered dessert of apple tart tartan. Sorry it was absolutely disgusting!...

We had a wonderful lunch at the George - food and service both delightful. We felt very safe - well spaced out, staff wore visors and took our temperature on arrival. Would definitely go again.

Excellent food and excellent service, nothing to find fault with, a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

We have eaten there a few times and food has always been excellent The garden is wonderful to eat in in the summer Would recommend it to anyone

The bed was a bit hard, big hair ball in the plug of the shower, but apart from that the staff were friendly, can’t give a bad review for just them 2 things

Despite only living a few miles away, I'd not been to The George in over a decade. We had friends staying over so thought it would be a nice venue for an evening meal. Having arrived about an hour prior to our table booking we had pre dinner drinks sat on comfortable sofas by the wood burner... Absolutely perfect on a damp November evening, we were given menus and ordered our food whilst sat in this area. We were shown to our table a few minutes before our starters came out, giving us a chance to top up drinks etc. The food we selected was a mix of items from the menu and extensive blackboard choices. All the dishes were nicely cooked and presented and the service was prompt and polite. After dinner we returned to the bar area for a relaxing post-dining chat and drink... Overall a wonderful experience and reasonably priced and I promise I won't leave it a decade before returning.

Having eaten here many times since it has been refurbished we have always had excellent service and amazing food. Sadly this was not the case yesterday for our table of four. We decided to order from 'the specials board' and 3 of us ordered our favourite Beef Stroganoff we did not have starters so after a very long wait asked if we could have bread rolls only to be told they will be served 5mins before your meal. We were offered sliced bread no rolls just before our meal, the Beef Stroganoff looked and tasted more like Beef Bourguignon there was no cream or creme freiche and a very small portion. It was edible but not what we had ordered. The head waiter looked surprised when we complained offering no explanation, after another lengthy wait was told our choice of dessert was not available. The head waiter did offer us complimentary coffee/tea but the whole evening was disappointing and lacked the usual high standards.

Excellent service and delicious food. Spoilt for choice from very reasonably priced set lunch menu, a la carte and specials board. Everything we chose was delicious and beautifully presented. The George is definitely worth a visit if you enjoy fine dining in lovely surroundings. We will 100% be back.

First visit here, 12 of us, had to pre order our menus which meant we didn't know what the specials were or the soup of the day. One of those menus where you have to look up what dishes are eg. Au Poivre Sauce, Petit Pois Francias. Lovely old building, recently renovated, lovely garden at the back. Struggled to park as car park is not big enough, had to park on the road. Five of us ordered the Fillet of Beef, it arrived rare, three of us, interestingly the women, couldn't eat it rare and ended up giving it to the men who were quite happy to eat it rare. Which was disappointing and expensive at £24.50, there wasn't much else on the plate, small amount of potato and some green beans. I wish they had asked us at some point how we want our beef cooked, perhaps they would have asked if we had ordered on the night at the table. The dessert - Chocolate Brownie was delicious however. Service was a little slow, we had to go to the bar for drinks, no one came to the table and asked us if we wanted drinks. They were very busy. Not sure i would return as i struggled to choose off the limited menu and then it wasn't right.

This is now our go to restaurant, the food is consistently good. The menu caters for most fancies. Auberge Monday & steak Wednesday offer tremendous value for money. The service is friendly & professional, special mention to Ellie & Lauren.

We took some friends who were visiting us to The George for a meal recently. The team at the George were so helpful and accommodating in relation to special requirements I requested prior to and during the evening we visited. The service by the team was excellent throughout the evening and the food was well presented and tasted delicious as always.

First time visitor and I will definitely return.

This was the first time visiting for us.

We re-visited The George with our guests Who were there to support us for our Wedding Anniversary and 60th Birthday.

We had been to the newly re-furbished George for their set lunch menu a few weeks ago which was excellent. The gardens are beautiful and very relaxing for a pre-dinner drink. So we decided to try the 2 steaks and bottle of wind on a Wednesday for £29.99.

Very friendly & attentive service, with good menu, which is value for money. A thougerly enjoyable experience, in a nicely decorated restaurant and the ability to sit outside in very well maintained gardens. Will certainly be visiting again.

First visit to have lunch, were told to sit at the unpleased side pub section to wait, although we could see most of the tables in the dining section were vacant. Waited the best part of 10 minutes, so we decided it was not worth the wait for a meal that we would be paying for, and may or may not be any good.

A lovely gastro pub to have a sandwich and a drink on a Saturday lunchtime. They have a beautiful garden to the rear. The sandwiches were delicious and the service excellent. We will continue to return here time and time again for both a quick lunchtime sandwich and their lunch/dinner menu.

Hidden treasure here in a location so many have driven past without a second thought. Jamb on your brakes, dress in your good casual gear and enjoy food you should be paying more for!! Food and drink options terrific and delicious and generous portions. It mostly just the great food that brought us back again, the location and awesome service being a bonus.

Hadn't been here since they refurbished, WOW, what a wonderful job they've made, very plush and well planned out. Three of us for lunch, fantastic selection, expertly cooked and presented. Staff were extremely courteous, going to book dinner there over the next few nights.

First time visit for a birthday lunch on Saturday.

this is a must visit place, beautifully refurbished - try to book, but everything from drinks to the wonderful meal is really most excellent Lovely choice from the menu

We are regular patrons of The George, together with another couple that we regularly dine with. Ellie and her colleagues are always welcoming, together with the lovely log fire and comfy sofas in the reception area. The ambience is cool and calming. The food is delicious, and we've sampled a lot of the menu, never having been served a bad meal. At busy times, yes the service can be a bit slow, but then again we are never in a hurry so this does not concern us. For us eating out should be savoured not rushed... The menu changes regularly and we always find it hard to choose from several delicious options. Portion and price wise it's hard to fault!

4 of us booked for 8pm. All the food was great and the staff and atmosphere. We’ve been here a few times and have never had a bad meal. First time for our friends and they loved it. We look forward to returning in the Summer as the garden is lovely for pre dinner drinks. Total bill with wine and drinks £ 160

The George has had a complete makeover since my last visit a few years back. It is now a modern gastro pub. The food was interesting and excellent. The service was good and the waiting staff were attentive. The raspberry soufflé was a great tasting but unfortunately no raspberries. However they were very apologetic and did not charge so basically turning it into a plus. The only problem was we were seated very close to the fire and so one of our number was far too hot.

After a long cycle from Northampton this beautiful pub was a site for sore eyes! Lovely lunch with attentive friendly staff we were even shown where to put our bikes lovely people we will be back when we pass through again! Highly recommend the chicken bacon and pesto sandwich was delicious.

... but wasn’t. Strange, as this was one of the better meals we’ve had around here recently. Service was excellent. Quality and presentation of food also very good. I hadn’t been to the George for years but will definitely be going back. This place should be really busy and needs supporting as we need restaurants like this around here.

The 2 times we have been here for lunch we could not fault it. Excellent friendly and professional service. The food was also excellent, fresh, delicious and using local suppliers too. Absolutely beautiful furnishings and we are looking forward to summer to sit in the beautiful garden. We are also planning to visit for dinner one evening and I am sure we wont be dissapointed.

Came off the motorway to find somewhere to eat. We struck lucky, as just got there in time for food. Fillet steak sandwich was truly excellent and would definitely use again.

An excellent yet welcoming and friendly place. The food is exceptional and the service is unobtrusive yet pleasant highly recommend this for a casual lunch or a special occasion dinner

Scallops and black pudding starter decent enough. Cod and chorizo risotto also good. Treacle tart pudding the highlight. Nice staff. Decorated like a new build show home.

Second time in two months that we have eaten at the newly refurbished George Inn and have not been disappointed. Great food, ambience and perfect service.

My Dad who lives in Oxendon and has done for many years took over the pub for his Birthday lunch for about 80 people. The pub has recently been totally refurbished and is totally unrecognisable from days of old when it was my local. The decor is tasteful and it now feels light and bright. Family who stayed in the rooms were very happy with the accommodation too. The staff were fantastic the service seamless and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks for memorable day
